Excerpt from A Brief Explication of the Principal Prophecies of Daniel and John, as They Regard the Church of God: To Which Is Added, an Appendix, Containing an Inquiry Into the Propriety of Using an Evangelical Psalmody in the Worship of GodThe principal difficulty of studying and understandmg the prophecies, arises from the symbolical or figurative language in w hich they are written, and to read or study them without a key to those symbols, is labor in vain. To obtain this key, we have carefully considered those symbols in the Old and New Testaments, - and from the contexts, and the drift and design of the writers, we have at length arrived at what we think IS their literal meaning, and they are now presented to the reader in alphabetical order, with a reference to those passages where we think they are to be so understood. This may assist the young student, and somewhat facilitate his inquiries. Mr. F aber has indeed given us a definition of the princi pal symbols occurring in the prophecies, but we have enlarged the list, and to understand all the prophecies, it will be neces sary to enlarge it still farther. We commit this little book to the guidance of the great Head of the church, for the promotion of whose declarative glory it was writ ten, praying, that he will graciously forgive whatever in it is wrong or amiss, and guide the reader and writer into all necessary truth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
